New Dirty Skirts album in June, 2011

11 Apr 2011

The Dirty Skirts will be releasing a new album, "Lost In The Fall", in June 2011. The release will be followed by a limited number of launch events, which will take place around the country.

The album has been recorded at Heritage Studio with engineer Brendan Rossouw and is co-produced by the Dirty Skirts and Neal Snyman.

The Dirty Skirts are a fiendishly independent band that built an underground following with the release of their eponymous EP in 2005, and subsequent albums "On a Stellar Bender" and "Daddy Don't Disco". The alt-indie-rock band is based in Cape Town and comprises Jeremy de Tolly on lead vocals and guitar, David Moffatt on guitar, Maurice Paliaga on bass and Mark de Menezes on drums.

The sonic has changed

"Yes our sonic has changed on this album. But I think that we are closer to the experience that we have envisaged for some time," said Moffatt. "We have deliberately preserved the grittiness of our pre-studio recordings. Some of the material is dark and hard, but there is loads of beauty and heart too."

"Lost In The Fall" will be released online and in store in June. Launch events dates will be announced on the band's website www.thedirtyskirts.com and on the band's Facebook page.
